Is this 11/0 the same size as a 11/0 Gamagatsu or Mustad? If so, that's way too big for eels (but I've never seen those hooks).

I use a 6/0 Mustad or 6/0 Gami 2x Live Bait (little heavier - thanks for that tip cowhunter)...

If you are just starting off with eels, go with the circle hooks - do a search on them and you'll see a lot of info
